I just bought an M.2 drive hat for the raspberry pi4 anyone else have this setup?

Interesting. The downside is you have an M.2 drive, but are limited to 480mb of USB2.

Of course that is almost 40x faster than an SD card reader. (around 12.5mb) Next step, an actually mSATA connector on an RPi or hell. An M.2 connector, though they are a bit less compact.

So the M.2 drive I got from amazon had already been used and destroyed so I found my old Xbox and stole its harddrive lol! As out dated this hard drive is its still ridiculously fast on this single board OMG.

So I went to the local computer shop today and got a better M.2 ssd and here are the read and write results.

M.2 speeds are amazing. I will never buy another device without one (until something better comes along).
